Trombonist and composer Alan Ferber has been an important exponent for original jazz music on the New York scene since 1999. He has released seven albums as a bandleader, all of which blur traditional boundaries through an intriguing mix of influences. The Wall Street Journal describes his music as “somehow both old school and cutting edge.” His 2013 Sunnyside release, March Sublime, features stunning new music for big band and was nominated for a 2014 Grammy award in the ‘Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album’ category. His discography lists well over 100 CDs on which he has played trombone or contributed arrangements. Alan teaches as an adjunct professor of jazz trombone and composition at New York University’s Steinhardt School.
